Is it an administration type position or a user type position?  If you are
expected to be familiar with Sun Solaris because you're going to be using
it, then don't stress at all.  As with all the other *nixes if you've used
one, you've almost used them all.  Some common tools (like gcc and ar) 
will be in weird places like /opt/ instead of /bin/ but once you've set
your path you shouldn't have to worry about that.

If the position requires Solaris administration, then I can't comment as
I've never tried administrating a solaris box.

All the best,
